I have never known American politics without Rush until today.

Rush Limbaugh went national the year of my birth, 1988. Joey Clark, co-host “ News & Views,” 9 a.m.-noon on News Talk 93.1 FM WACV, Montgomery No Limbaugh means, no massive conservative media, no Fox News, no Tea Party and no Trump. He informed, entertained and infuriated millions. There’s not a talk show host alive that doesn’t owe some part of their career to Rush. Rush Limbaugh, while different in many ways, was Donald Trump before Donald Trump.ĭale Jackson, host “ The Dale Jackson Show,” 7 a.m.-11 a.m. His undying, unwavering and unapologetic love of the United States of America and his belief in the intelligence and goodness of the American people. It is not hyperbole to attribute that lasting power and indelible mark on our nation’s history to one unyielding constant. His nationally syndicated radio show began when I was 15 for goodness sake…and I’ve been on air for 20 years. It was not that his candle burned so bright, but that it burned so long. Every talk show host in America owes their livelihood to him in some form or fashion.

Rush Limbaugh was the undisputed gold standard in our industry.

Matt Murphy, co-host “ Matt & Val,” 6 a.m.-10 a.m. Yellowhammer News reached out to talk show hosts around the state and asked them to weigh in on Limbaugh’s passing and what they saw as his lasting legacy.
